Casey Muratori's invited lecture on where bad code comes from, rebroadcast from a Twitch stream. He critiques conventional wisdom such as SOLID and Clean Code and argues about how those habits lead to slow, poorly structured software.
Why Hacker News points people here: HN commenters cite it as a sharp critique of SOLID, Clean Code and 'non-pessimized' programming, and as context for why software is getting worse.

Casey Muratori critiques SOLID principles around 23:00.

No. I don't agree with Casey Muratori on a lot of things, but he hits the nail on the head about that statement in this video (around 23:00, but I'd suggest you watch the whole thing for context) - this video I've walked out of interviews (politely) because I was asked to recite some buzzword bullshit like SOLID.
